D.Seriousandsympathetic.【答案】4.D5.A6.B7.B【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者夫妇在育儿后的生活状态，特别是关于孩子睡觉时间的安排和作者对此的思考与妥协。【4题详析】细节理解题。根据第一段“Attheendofaday’sparenting,there’softensolittletimeleftthateven35minutesofourfavouriteTVshowfeelspointless.(一天的育儿工作结束后，留给我们的时间往往很少，甚至35分钟我们最喜欢的电视节目都觉得毫无意义。)”可知，照顾孩子后的短暂时间让看电视对这对夫妇来说毫无意义。故选D。【5题详析】细节理解题。根据第三段“With10siblings,differentbedtimeswerestrictlyenforcedasatinysymbolicseparation.Bedtimescameinrigiddeadlines,informallyattachedtothepopularsoapoperas.TheyoungestreportedthemselvesabedonceNeighboursfinished.Over-12shadtoretireonceHomeandAwayendedat7p.m.Butthetruemilestoneforemotionalmaturitywasonewhereitscharactershadnoseringsanddislikedschool.(有10个兄弟姐妹，不同的就寝时间被严格强制执行，作为一种微小的象征性分离。睡觉时间有严格的截止日期，非正式地与流行的肥皂剧联系在一起。“邻居们”一讲完，最小的几个孩子就说自己上床睡觉了。12岁以上的孩子必须在《主客场》晚上7点结束后退休。但情感成熟的真正里程碑是，剧中人物戴着鼻环，不喜欢上学。)”可知，作者童年的就寝时间象征着不同的成长水平。故选A。【6题详析】推理判断题。根据第四段“It’sstrangethatwhatwasoncedebatablenowappearsunquestionable.This,itseems,isthesongofabirdthathascometoloveitscage.(奇怪的是，曾经有争议的事情现在似乎毫无疑问了。这似乎是一只爱上笼子的鸟儿的歌声。)”可知，作者在第4段提到“鸟之歌”是为了表明他对旧的就寝规则的矛盾态度。故选B。【7题详析】推理判断题。根据第二段“Bedtimeistherealtime-suck.Sinceourkidsnowsharearoom,ourprojecthasbeenputtingthemdownatthesametime.Butthisistough.Atsix,oursoninsistsonstayinguplaterthanatwo-year-old.Theproblemis,Iagreewithhim.(就寝时间真的很浪费。由于我们的孩子们现在共用一个房间，我们的项目一直在同时让他们失望。但这很难。六岁的儿子坚持要比两岁的孩子晚睡。问题是，我同意他的观点。)”可知，作者夫妇努力让孩子在同一时间睡觉但很困难，作者甚至赞同儿子晚点睡觉，表现出一种反思的语气；最后一段“Trembling,wetiptoedownstairstobecomereacquaintedwithourselvesand,joyofjoys,towatchafullhourofsomeshowthathasinevitablybeencanceledbythetimeyou’rereadingthis.(我们颤抖着，蹑手蹑脚地走下楼梯，重新认识自己，并在快乐的喜悦中，看了整整一个小时的节目，在你读到这篇文章的时候，这些节目不可避免地被取消了。)”可知，作者夫妇做出的妥协，并在孩子睡着后悄悄地去看电视节目，这部分的语气则较为轻松和诙谐，故作者在这篇文章中的语气是反思和俏皮的。故选B。CSincethefirstastronautsspenttimeinspace,scientistshaveknownthatspacetravelaffectsthehumanbodyinstrangeways.Muscleandbonemassdecreaseandtheriskofconditionsusuallyassociatedwitholdage,suchascancersandcataracts(白内障),ticksup.Whythehumanbodyshoulddeclinefasterinspaceisstilllargelyamystery,butonethatresearchersaredealingwithincreasingurgencyascivilianspacetravelbecomesmorefeasible.InarecentstudythatinvolvedsendingmusclesamplestotheInternationalSpaceStation,some250milesaboveEarth,researchersfromStanfordMedicinefoundthatthelackofgravityinspaceimpairsthenormalregenerativeabilityofmuscle.Thesamplesweregrownfrommusclecellsdonatedbyhealthyvolunteerstoresemblethebundledstructureofmusclefibres.Theyspentsevendaysgrowinginspace,thenfrozenuntiltheirreturntoEarth.Theresearchersfoundnotablesimilaritiesbetweenmusclethathadspentaweekinmicrogravity(gravityaboardtheInternationalSpaceStationisabout0.1%ofgravityonEarth)andmuscleinolderadultswithsarcopenia(肌肉减少症),amuscle-wastingconditionthatdevelopsoverdecades.Bothindicatedashifttowardmorefattyacidmetabolism(脂肪酸代谢)andagreatertendencytowardcelldeath.Theimpairedregenerationcouldcontributetowhyastronauts’musclesweakenevenwithregularexercise.“Microgravityisalmostlikeanaccelerateddisease-formingplatformandenvironment,”saidNganHuang,PhD,seniorauthorofthestudypublishedrecentlyinStemCellReports.“It’simportanttounderstandhowmicrogravityisaffectingdifferenttissuesinthebody,withmusclebeingoneofthemostessentialonesbecauseofhowmuchofitwehaveinourbodies.”Huang’steamalsotesteddrugsthatpartiallypreventedtheseimpairmentsinthemusclesamples,whichcouldbenefitspacetravellersandEarth-boundseniors—perhapsevenseniorspacetravellersalike.Ultimately,Huang,whoisalsoaprincipalinvestigatorattheVeteransAffairsPaloAltoHealthCareSystemhopestofindwaystoenhancemuscleregenerationtohealseveremuscleinjuries,likethosemanySoldiersinjuredduringwars.8.Whichofthefollowingbestdescribesthemeaningoftheunderlinedwordinparagraph2?A.Difficulttocomplete.B.Lawfultoconduct.C.Expensivetoattempt.D.Possibletoachieve.9.Whatcanwelearnaboutthemusclesamplesintherecentstudy?A.Theydevelopedsarcopeniaafteraweekinspace.B.Theywerecollecteddirectlyfromvolunteers’muscles.C.Theymayfailtofunctionproperlyafterreturningfromspace.D.Theywerefrozenduetothefreezingtemperaturesinmicrogravity.10.Whyismicrogravitydescribedasan“accelerateddisease-formingplatform”?A.Itstopsmusclefromrecoveringafterinjury.B.Itreproduceslong-termconditionsinashortertime.C.Itaffectsastronautswithpre-existingconditionsonly.D.Itspeedsupcancerandcataractsdevelopmentinastronauts.11.WhatisHuanglikelytofocusoninfutureresearch?A.Provingspacetraveladvancesaginginastronauts.B.Investigatingmicrogravity’simpactonmusclestructure.C.Creatingwaystoboostmuscleregenerationincriticalinjuries.D.Designingexercisestopreventmusclelossduringspacetravel.【答案】8.D9.C10.B11.C【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了科学家发现太空的微重力环境会损害肌肉的正常再生能力，而这种症状和老年人的肌肉所患症状有相似性。【8题详析】词句猜测题。根据“researchersaredealingwithincreasingurgencyascivilianspacetravelbecomesmorefeasible(随着民用太空旅行变得更加feasible，研究人员正在处理越来越紧迫的问题)”并结合常识可知，民用太空旅行变得越来越可行，所以研究人员才处理与太空旅行有关的紧迫问题，feasible意为“可行的”，与D项“可能实现的”意思一致。故选D。【9题详析】推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Theresearchersfoundnotablesimilaritiesbetweenmusclethathadspentaweekinmicrogravity(gravityaboardtheInternationalSpaceStationisabout0.1%ofgravityonEarth)andmuscleinolderadultswithsarcopenia(肌肉减少症),amuscle-wastingconditionthatdevelopsoverdecades.(研究人员发现，在微重力环境（国际空间站上的重力约为地球重力的0.1%）下一周的肌肉与患有肌肉减少症的老年人的肌肉之间存在显著相似之处，肌肉减少症是一种数十年来发展的肌肉萎缩症状)”可知，在微重力环境下一周的肌肉和患有肌肉减少症的老年人的肌肉之间有明显的相似之处，由此可推测出，肌肉样品从太空回来之后可能无法像正常肌肉一样运转。故选C。【10题详析】推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Theresearchersfoundnotablesimilaritiesbetweenmusclethathadspentaweekinmicrogravity(gravityaboardtheInternationalSpaceStationisabout0.1%ofgravityonEarth)andmuscleinolderadultswithsarcopenia(肌肉减少症),amuscle-wastingconditionthatdevelopsoverdecades.(研究人员发现，在微重力环境（国际空间站上的重力约为地球重力的0.1%）下度过一周的肌肉与患有肌肉减少症的老年人的肌肉之间存在显著相似之处，肌肉减少症是一种数十年来发展的肌肉萎缩症状)”可知，在微重力环境下一周的肌肉与老年人在数十年里萎缩的肌肉之间有明显相似之处，由此可推测出，微重力能够在较短时间里让慢性病产生，所以被称为加速疾病形成的平台。故选B。【11题详析】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ultimately,Huang,whoisalsoaprincipalinvestigatorattheVeteransAffairsPaloAltoHealthCareSystemhopestofindwaystoenhancemuscleregenerationtohealseveremuscleinjuries,likethosemanySoldiersinjuredduringwars.(最终，黄也是帕洛阿托退伍军人事务医疗保健系统的首席研究员，她希望找到促进肌肉再生的方法来治疗严重的肌肉损伤，例如许多在战争中受伤的士兵)”可推知，黄在未来可能专注于寻找方法来促进严重受损的肌肉再生。故选C。DInastimulatinginterviewwiththephilosopherDanielDennettinLivingonEarth,DannetsharedthatCharlesDarwinandAlanTuringmightmakethesamediscovery.Darwinshowedhowyoucangettheappearanceofpurposeanddesignoutofblindprocessesofnaturalselection.AndTuringsaidthatanycomputableproblemcanbecomputedbyamachinewithoutunderstanding.Thehostthenvoicedaconcern:asAladvances,machineswillcometolordoverus.Dennettacknowledgesthere’satakeoverriskbutclaimsit’smisunderstood.Theriskisnotthatmachineswillbecomeautonomousrulersbutthatwewilldependtoomuchonmachines.ThemainissuewithAIisnotintelligencebutautonomy.Attheendoftheday,eventhesmartestcomputersareourtools,andtheirintentionsareours.Or,totheextentthatwecanspeakoftheirintentionsatall.Theintentionofaself-drivingcartoavoidanobstacle,forexample,iswhatit’sdesignedfor.Ourgrowingdependenceontechnologiesdoesn’tmeanwearelosingournaturalautonomyinquitethissense.Ourneedsremain.Butitisalossofautonomy.Evenautomechanicsthesedaysrelyoncomputersand,intheeraofself-drivingcars,willanyofusstillknowhowtodrive?Thinkwhatwouldhappenifwelostelectricity?We’dbethrownbackintothe19thcentury,asDennettsays.Butthingswouldbeworseaswelackknow-howthatmadeitpossibleforourancestorstolivewellintheoldendays.Thetruthis,we’vebeentechnologicalsinceourdawnasaspecies.Wefirstfoundourselvesinthearchaeologicalrecordwherewesawagreatexpositionoftools,technologies,art-makingandlanguage.Inasense,beinghumanmeansbeinglikeacyborg,whichisatechnologicalextensionofournaturalselves.Thissuggeststhatatanytimeinourdevelopment,alarge-scalebreakdowninthetechnologicalsystemwouldspellnotexactlyourdoom,butourcompletereorganization.Perhapswhatmakesourcurrentdilemmaunprecedented(史无前例的)isthefactthatwearesocloselynetworked.WhenthelibraryofAlexandriaburneddown,booksandknowledgewerelost.Butinaworldwherelibrariesarereplacedbytheironlineversions,itisn’tunimaginablethateverylibrarycouldbesinplydeleted.Whathappenstousthen?12.WhichofthefollowingstatementsmightDennetmostlikelyagreewith?A.AImightbeoverlyreliedon.B.AIdoesn’thavecomprehension.C.AI’sdevelopmentisbounded.D.AI’sevolutionresemblesnaturalselection.13.Whichofthefollowingexamplesbestmatchestheideaof“know-how”inparagraph4?A.Ascholarstudiesthetheoryofnaturalselection.B.Anoblemanhiresservantstodoallthehousework.C.Afarmerbuildsatablebyhandusingtraditionaltools.D.Aworkeroperatesamachinefollowingpresetinstructions.14.Whydidtheauthormentionlibrariesinparagraph6?A.Toshowthetechnologicalstability.B.Toprovethetechnologicalsafeguard.C.Toemphasizethetechnologicalweakness.D.Toillustratethetechnologicaltransformation.15.Whatwouldbethebesttitleforthepassage?A.IstheConcernArtificialIntelligenceorAutonomy?B.HowwillTechnologyBreakdownChangeOurLives?C.WillArtificialAutonomyThreatenHumanity’sExistence?D.HowdoestheHuman-TechnologyRelationshipDevelop?【答案】12.A13.C14.C15.A【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文，主要探讨了AI和人类自主性的关系、人类对技术的依赖、人类的技术本质以及当前网络化社会面临的特殊困境。【12题详析】推理判断题。根据第二段“Dennettacknowledgesthere’satakeoverriskbutclaimsit’smisunderstood.Theriskisnotthatmachineswillbecomeautonomousrulersbutthatwewilldependtoomuchonmachines.(Dennett承认存在被取代的风险，但他认为这种风险被误解了。风险不在于机器会成为自主统治者，而在于我们会过度依赖机器。)”可知，Dennet最有可能同意的说法是人工智能可能会被过度依赖。故选A。【13题详析】推理判断题。根据第四段“Thinkwhatwouldhappenifwelostelectricity?We’dbethrownbackintothe19thcentury,asDennettsays.Butthingswouldbeworseaswelackknow-howthatmadeitpossibleforourancestorstolivewellintheoldendays.(想想如果我们断电会发生什么？正如丹尼特所说，我们会被抛回19世纪。但事情会变得更糟，因为我们缺乏使我们的祖先在过去的日子里生活得很好的技术。)”可知，“know-how”的技术是使我们的祖先在过去的日子里生活得很好的技术，符合“know-how”的概念的是一位农民用传统工具手工制作一张桌子。故选C。【14题详析】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Perhapswhatmakesourcurrentdilemmaunprecedented(史无前例的)isthefactthatwearesocloselynetworked.(也许我们目前的困境之所以前所未有，是因为我们是如此紧密地联系在一起。)”和“Butinaworldwherelibrariesarereplacedbytheironlineversions,itisn’tunimaginablethateverylibrarycouldbesinplydeleted.(但在一个图书馆被其在线版本所取代的世界里，想象一下，所有的图书馆都可能被轻易删除，这并不是不可想象的。)”可知，作者在第6段提到图书馆是为了强调技术上的弱点。故选C。【15题详析】主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“Thehostthenvoicedaconcern:asAladvances,machineswillcometolordoverus.(主持人随后表达了担忧：随着人工智能的发展，机器将主宰我们。)”和第三段“ThemainissuewithAIisnotintelligencebutautonomy.(人工智能的主要问题不是智能，而是自主性。)”可知，本文主要探讨了AI和人类自主性的关系、人类对技术的依赖、人类的技术本质以及当前网络化社会面临的特殊困境，因此最好的题目是A选项“IstheConcernArtificialIntelligenceorAutonomy?(人们担忧的是人工智能还是自主性？)”。故选A。第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项。OnJuly4,1972,apairofyoungnewlywedsnamedTonyandMaureenwereonthedrivewayofafamilyhomeinthesouthofEngland._____16_____.Orsomewhere.Theyhadatrunkfulloffood,cookingequipmentandsomesleepingbags.TheybelievedthattheirjourneyacrossAsiawouldbenothingmorethanalittleadventurebeforetheysettleddowntoasteady,middle-classlifeinEngland.Anditturnedouttobejustthekindofadventurethecouplelongedfor.TheygotcaughtinasnowstormintheItalianAlps;bumpedintoamotorcycleinIran;thensoldtheircar.Fromthere,itwasabustoPakistan,thenontoIndia.ThecouplehitchhikedsouthacrossThailandandonthroughMalaysiaandSingapore._____17_____.TonyandMaureeneachlostmorethantenpoundsinthefiveandahalfmonthsittookthemtogetfromEnglandtoAustralia._____18_____.AndbythetimetheymadeittoSydneytheyhadpreciselytwenty-sevencentslefttosustainthem._____19_____.ThebookshopstheycouldhavevisitedbackinEnglandin1972wouldhavehadpreciouslittletoofferinthewayofpracticaladvicefortheirroute.Butthat’snottosaythatTonyandMaureenhadnothingtoguidethem.Astheywoulddiscoversoon,theirsinglebestsourceofinformationwastheothertravelersthey’dencounterontheroad._____20_____.AndthesenoteswouldateprovetobeaveryvaluableresourceforthebookAcrossAsiaontheCheap,beginningoftheirLonelyPlanetguidebooks—thegospel(真理)ofadventuretravelfortensofmillionsofreaders.A.Theywouldalsoexchangeinformation.B.Theyoncewantedtostoptheirjourney.C.They’dcoveredovertenthousandmiles.D.Tonytookverycarefulnotesoftheinformationeveryday.E.Theysetoutonthefinallegofthetrip-WesternAustralia.F.Whatdidtheyoungcouplehavetoguidetheminallofthis?G.TheyweredrivingausedminivanandtheirgoalwastogettoIndia.【答案】16.G17.E18.C19.F20.D【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了1972年7月4日，一对名叫托尼和莫林的年轻新婚夫妇从英国到澳大利亚旅行的事迹。【16题详析】根据上文“OnJuly4,1972,apairofyoungnewlywedsnamedTonyandMaureenwereonthedrivewayofafamilyhomeinthesouthofEngland.(1972年7月4日，一对名叫托尼和莫林的年轻新婚夫妇走在英格兰南部一户人家的车道上)”以及后文“Orsomewhere.Theyhadatrunkfulloffood,cookingequipmentandsomesleepingbags.TheybelievedthattheirjourneyacrossAsiawouldbenothingmorethanalittleadventurebeforetheysettleddowntoasteady,middle-classlifeinEngland.(或者某个地方。他们有一个装满食物、烹饪设备和一些睡袋的箱子。他们认为，在他们在英国安定下来，过上稳定的中产阶级生活之前，他们的亚洲之旅只不过是一次小小的冒险)”可知，后文提到了某个地方，且他们有一些旅途用品，推测这对夫妇要外出旅行，本句是在说明他们的目的地。故G选项“他们开着一辆二手小货车，他们的目标是去印度”符合语境，故选G。【17题详析】根据上文“Anditturnedouttobejustthekindofadventurethecouplelongedfor.TheygotcaughtinasnowstormintheItalianAlps;bumpedintoamotorcycleinIran;thensoldtheircar.Fromthere,itwasabustoPakistan,thenontoIndia.ThecouplehitchhikedsouthacrossThailandandonthroughMalaysiaandSingapore.(事实证明，这正是这对夫妇所渴望的冒险。他们在意大利阿尔卑斯山遭遇了暴风雪；在伊朗撞上了一辆摩托车；然后卖掉了他们的车。从那里，这是一辆开往巴基斯坦的巴士，然后又开往印度。这对夫妇搭便车南下泰国，然后经过马来西亚和新加坡)”以及下一段“TonyandMaureeneachlostmorethantenpoundsinthefiveandahalfmonthsittookthemtogetfromEnglandtoAustralia.(在从英国到澳大利亚的五个半月里，托尼和莫林每人都瘦了十多磅)”可知，本句是在讲他们最后到达的地方是在澳大利亚。故E选项“他们出发去旅行的最后一站——西澳大利亚”符合语境，故选E。【18题详析】根据上文“TonyandMaureeneachlostmorethantenpoundsinthefiveandahalfmonthsittookthemtogetfromEnglandtoAustralia.(在从英国到澳大利亚的五个半月里，托尼和莫林每人都瘦了十多磅)”以及后文“AndbythetimetheymadeittoSydneytheyhadpreciselytwenty-sevencentslefttosustainthem.(当他们到达悉尼时，他们只剩下27美分来维持生活)”可知，上文说明了旅行持续的时间，推测本句会解释旅行的距离。故C选项“他们已经走了一万多英里了”符合语境，故选C。【19题详析】根据后文“ThebookshopstheycouldhavevisitedbackinEnglandin1972wouldhavehadpreciouslittletoofferinthewayofpracticaladvicefortheirroute.(如果回到1972年的英国，他们本可以去的书店对他们的路线几乎没有什么实用的建议)”可知，后文提到了1972年的书店对路线没有实用的建议，推测本句针对他们获得的旅行指导或建议进行设问。故F选项“这对年轻夫妇在这一切中有什么指导？”符合语境，故选F。【20题详析】根据后文“AndthesenoteswouldateprovetobeaveryvaluableresourceforthebookAcrossAsiaontheCheap,beginningoftheirLonelyPlanetguidebooks—thegospel(真理)ofadventuretravelfortensofmillionsofreaders.(这些笔记后来被证明是《廉价穿越亚洲》这本书的宝贵资料，这本书是《孤独星球》旅行指南的开端，对数千万读者来说，这本书是冒险旅行的福音)”可知，后文提到了笔记成为资料，说明他们在旅途中进行了记录。故D选项“托尼每天都非常仔细地记录信息”符合语境，故选D。第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Lastyear,my9-year-oldsonLeopoldandIwentonaskitriptoKeystone,Colorado.Wemade(a)n_____21_____:sayyestoeverything,especiallynewexperiences.Leopoldisapickyeaterandcan_____22_____totrynewthings,soIwantedto_____23_____himwithoutturningtoold-fashionedadvicelike“You’llneverknowifyoulikeitunlessyoutry.”WhenwearrivedinKeystone,westartedbytryingnewfoodsand_____24_____.Itastedaveganmeatball,andLeopold_____25_____hashbrowns—anAmericanpotatodish.Neitherofuslovedit,butweboth_____26_____itas“notbad.”Thenextday,Leopoldfacedhisfearof_____27_____torideachairliftforsnowboarding.Ialso_____28_____myselfforaskionanadvancedslope.Later,weeven_____29_____thecoldnessbytryinganoutdoorhottub.Itwasfreezing,buttheexperiencewas_____30_____.WecontinuedsayingyesonourspringbreaktriptoSt.Augustine,Florida,whosemoonlitghosttourgaveusathrillofpleasureand_____31_____.TheninYellowstone,wewentlinedancingatacountry-westernbar,swingingourwaists_____32_____.Ourfamily_____33_____continuedthro
